SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 30 CFR 1206.174(a)(4)(ii), ONRR
must publish major portion prices for each designated area that is not
associated with an index zone for each production month, as well as the
due date to submit any additional royalty payments. If a lessee owes
additional royalties, it must submit an amended form ONRR-2014, Report
of Sales and Royalty Remittance, to ONRR and pay the additional
royalties due by the due date. If a lessee fails to timely pay the
additional royalties, late payment interest begins to accrue pursuant
to 30 CFR 1218.54. The interest will accrue from the due date until
ONRR receives payment.
The table below lists major portion prices for designated areas
that are not associated with an index zone.
